After some more thought I don't really like this approach.
See the reasoning in http://code.google.com/p/ocaml-extlib/issues/detail?id=23#c6
The new approach (implemented in svn) is to include offending modules conditionally during extlib build
time, so that extlib without UChar module can be easily integrated into codebases that don't depend on UChar,
while others may take some time to amend the code. Basically the decision is being retargeted
from code developer to the end-user/admin. Cursory research suggests that in opam there is one package
using UTF8 module from extlib - namely javalib. So practically it means creating
two opam packages extlib and extlib_full and promoting the first. This sounds better than having
two ocamlfind packages, anyway.
What do you think?
